OCTOPUS – 1/2 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Ball Marker | Mint Markers^®

Description:

A high-relief octopus with tentacles reaching in every direction, eyes fixed forward, rendered in the deep intaglio style the Mint Markers^® line is known for. Eight arms — plenty enough to retrieve every ball you’ve ever put in the water on 17.

The Legend:

Scientists will tell you the octopus has nine brains and can taste with its arms. Golfers will tell you that, even with all that, an octopus would still short-side itself from 80 yards. The kraken legends of the North Sea seem silly until you’ve actually watched your ball vanish into a pond and wondered, quietly, whether something under there was pulling. On many courses, it is. Make the marker a peace offering — put a piece of silver down on the fringe and maybe the hazard gods take pity on your next approach.
